Jeeva Nagar, the CMDA approved layout promoted by BLB Estates, T.Nagar, has witnessed unprecedented flooding during 2008 November-December.
We have taken up the neglect of the layout by the Mangadu Town Panchayat with the District Collector, Kancheepuram, Mr. Santosh Misra, IAS. He has initiated some steps to persuade the local body to act.
The scene of the flooding can be seen in this video by a resident, hosted on Youtube.
Another movie/slide presentation on the cause of the flooding can be seen here.
The residents have resolved that this is the last year when they will put up with such flooding, and a set of measures to be decided by consultation will be initiated early in 2009.
